Cockroaches
Why Are Cockroaches A Problem?
Cockroaches are one of the most reviled pests, and for a good reason. Not only are they ugly and creepy, but they can also be dangerous to your health. Cockroaches are known to spread disease, and their constant presence in your home can lead to stress and anxiety.
Cockroaches are known to transmit Salmonella, a bacterium that is harmful to humans. They can also spread E. coli and other harmful bacteria. In addition, cockroaches produce pheromones, which can trigger asthma attacks in people allergic to them.
If you see even one cockroach in your home, you must take action immediately to eliminate them. The longer they stay, the more chances they have to reproduce and infest your home. Luckily, we are here to help!
